"Okay, now that we're ready to sit down behind this wheel, we want to make sure that we have all our needle and parts sorted out so we're not getting up and walking around the studio trying to find our needle tool. So I start by cleaning off the wheel head, drying it up right there. Because it's plastic, it's a plastic bat I have on here and it makes it really difficult to stick these guys on. Put that in the reclaim. And, like I, we got our rubber rib, our needle tool, a potter's knife, wire cutter and two natural sponges. Now we're ready to take this and all our tools are nice and sorted out and you know exactly where they are. We got our water and a piece of clay and that's all nice and wedged up. And we're going to attach this to the wheel head and throw a big, old flowerpot."
